Myself in a cosplay of Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls with my brother, Ivy Talbot as Dipper Pines in the right photo, and my friend, Salem Robinson, as Dipper Pines in the right photos. The Bill Cipher costume was created with cardboard, yellow spray paint, duct tape, and a reusable straw to hold up the hat. The eye window was made with a thin white fabric I could see through with the pupil drawn on with a marker. The laptop for the Dipper cosplay was made with a cardboard box, printed-out screenshots from the show, and a handle from a paper bag. Photos taken at Ikkicon (left) and Anime Austin (right).
Myself in two cosplays of Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls with my friend, Salem Robinson, as Dipper Pines in the right photo. The Mabel cosplay with the lighter sweater was made by me, using a base pink sweater and hand-sewing a horse and yarn onto it. For the Dipper cosplay on the right, The Journal 3 prop Salem is holding in that photo was also made by me, from a used book, metallic gold paper, an exacto knife, and brass brads. I unfortunately don't have a picture, but the book opened up and on the inside there was a secret compartment about the size of a cellphone.
Myself in a cosplay of Nurse Dollie from Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic. The mask was made using a Goosebumps dummy mask as a base, which I added a cardboard hat and hair to and painted. The gloves are beige mittens with buttons and fingers drawn in using Sharpie. The apron was bought, with the medical logo painted on it by me. The backpack is a yellow Kalidi bag with the medical logo painted on and metal attachments added to connect the long tubes. The long tubes are washing machine parts painted with spray paint and attached with brackets and wingnuts to the arms and backpack. The arm tubes are dryer parts taped into place and spray-painted, attached to the undershirt via Velcro.

Myself about to go to Queer Prom 2024, dressed up inspired by the fish tank scene from Romeo + Juliet (1996), which was the theme for the dance. I made the fish tank by taking a storage container, cutting out the bottom with a box cutter, and decorating the outside with metallic permanent blue markers and fish stickers. I also decorated the inside with small pink rocks to balance the weight to one side and make it seem more like a fish tank as well as gluing fish buttons to the inner walls. Lots of this was done at the Agnes Scott CISAW!
The look aside from the fishtank is bought, mostly purchased from Hot Topic, except one of the braclets I wore was made by me.
